Rare commercial opportunity in historic Idaho Springs! This exceptional creekside parcel boasts high-visibility Colorado Blvd frontage in a booming mountain town drawing over 1M annual visitors and 40K daily cars along the I-70 corridor. Since 1970, the legendary Maison de Ski shop has anchored the property—predating local icons like Tommyknockers and Beau Jo’s—serving generations of repeat customers with premier ski rentals and expert tuning, while partnering with Kodi Rafting for top-tier summer experiences. Positioned directly on the water, the site sits just two blocks from the new Argo Gondola (with bike carriers) and the world-class Virginia Canyon Mountain Bike Park, making it uniquely primed for a high-volume bike shop, rafting outfitter, or expanded ski hub. Cyclists can launch directly onto the Clear Creek Bike Path while rafters simultaneously set off down world class rapids. Winter enthusiasts enjoy elite proximity to major resorts: Loveland Ski Area and Echo Mountain are just 25 minutes away, with seven world-class destinations within 90 minutes. Featuring highly versatile mixed-use commercial (opportunity) zoning, the property offers unmatched cash-flow flexibility. Capitalize immediately on the profitable turnkey recreation setup by adding a high-volume bike rental shop & bike wash, while generating instant secondary income by renting out private parking spaces just below the city's high-demand paid spaces. For long-term development upside, the land is perfectly configured for a premium three-story condominium complex featuring a bustling ground-floor retail footprint, while the underutilized lower waterfront can transform into a vibrant outdoor music venue and beer garden. Located just one hour from DIA, this rare gem perfectly combines rich history, unparalleled transit access, and limitless development potential in Colorado's most rapidly expanding adventure corridor. Price is for building + lot. Call or see private remarks for Maison de Ski sale.
